Hoping I don't make somebody cry
Hoping not to live too many lies
I gave her what I could but she didn't notice what happened to me

Hoping I remember what I wanna say
Hoping that religion doesn't get in my way
I gave her everything but she didn't notice what happened to me

She'll have to wait a long time
She'll have to wait a long time
She'll have to wait a long time to comfort me

She took me to the station where she cried
She told me that my instincts were run dry
I told her everything was gonna be alright if she comforted me

She'll have to wait a long time
She'll have to wait a long time
She'll have to wait a long time to comfort me, yeah, yeah, yeah

She'll have to wait a long time
She'll have to wait a long time
She'll have to wait a long time to comfort me

So, I sing this to myself now she's not around
I sing it when and wherever I may be bound
It makes me feel so good just to hear the sound that comforts me
